How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Strict and weak stationarity for integer-indexed time series

Definition

Let X=(Xt)t∈Z be a real-valued stochastic process on one probability space, so each Xt is a real random variable and each finite tuple has its pushforward law (Stochastic processes and their finite-dimensional distributions, Random elements and real random variables, Law or distribution of a random element). We call X a time series here because its index set is Z.

The process is strictly stationary when for every integer r≥1, every t1,…,tr∈Z, and every shift m∈Z, L(Xt1+m,…,Xtr+m)=L(Xt1,…,Xtr). This condition concerns the full finite-dimensional laws and imposes no moment condition by itself.

The process is weakly stationary when E[∣Xt∣2]<∞ for every t∈Z, its mean μ:=E[Xt] is independent of t, and for every h∈Z the covariance γ(h):=Cov⁡(Xt+h,Xt) is independent of t. Expectation, variance, and covariance have the meanings in Expectation of a nonnegative or integrable random variable and Moments, variance, and covariance on a probability space. Strict stationarity alone therefore does not supply the moment hypotheses needed for covariance or sample-mean claims.

Dependency tree · two levels

11 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
